perf tools: Convert to NEWT_SUPPORT

2012-10-02T21:36:22+00:00

For building perf without libnewt, we can set NO_NEWT=1 as a argument of
make.  It then defines NO_NEWT_SUPPORT macro for C code to do the proper
handling.  However it usually used in a negative semantics - e.g.  #ifndef -
so we saw double negations which can be misleading.  Convert it to a
positive form to make it more readable.

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

2012-09-11T15:19:15+00:00

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored

__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.

The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

perf tools: include missing pthread.h header

2012-09-08T01:08:09+00:00

pthread variables are used in some files without explicitely including
pthread.h. This leads to compile errors on Android. e.g.: in annotate.h,
error: unknown type name 'pthread_mutex_t'

Including pthread.h explicitely in files that use it to have all definitions
included.

perf tools: Allow user to indicate path to objdump in command line

2012-09-05T22:41:55+00:00

When analyzing perf data from hosts of other architecture than one of
the local host it's useful to call objdump that is part of a toolchain
for that architecture. Instead of calling regular objdump, call one that
user specified in command line.

perf annotate: Introduce ->free() method in ins_ops

2012-05-12T16:26:20+00:00

So that we don't special case disasm_line__free, allowing each
instruction class to provide an specialized destructor, like is needed
for 'lock'.

perf annotate: Augment lock instruction output

2012-05-12T16:15:34+00:00

It just chops off the 'lock' and uses the ins__find, etc machinery to
call instruction specific parsers/beautifiers.

perf annotate: Resolve symbols using objdump comment

2012-05-11T20:19:20+00:00

This:

     mov    0x95bbb6(%rip),%ecx        # ffffffff81ae8d04 

Becomes:

     mov    d_hash_shift,%ecx

Ditto for many more instructions that take two operands.

perf annotate: Mark jump instructions with no offset

2012-04-25T17:16:03+00:00

I.e. jumps that go to code outside the current function, that is denoted
in objdump -dS as:

   399f877a9f: jne    399f87bcf4 <_L_lock_5154>

I.e. without the + after the name of the current function, like in:

   399f877aa5: jmp    399f877ab2 <_int_free+0x412>

The browser will use that info to avoid drawing connectors to the start
of the function, since ops.target.addr was zero.

perf annotate: Disambiguage offsets and addresses in operands

2012-04-25T11:00:23+00:00

We were using ins_ops->target for callq addresses and jump offsets,
disambiguate by having ins_ops->target.addr and ins_ops->target.offset.

For jumps we'll need both to fixup lines that don't have an offset on
the <> part.
